“Bluetooth” is the name given to a technology standard using short-range
radio links, intended to replace cables connecting portable and fixed elec-
tronic devices. The standard defines a uniform structure for a range of
devices to communicate with each other with minimal user effort. Its key
features are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low cost. The tech-
nology offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone network, and the
internet for a host of home appliances and mobile computer interfaces.
Wireless Printing can also be done with Microsoft APIs, including Blue-
tooth extensions for Winsock, and Bluetooth virtual COM ports. Informa-
tion about other Bluetooth software is in the Bluetooth Resource Kit and
the Bluetooth Resource Kit User's Guide via the Intermec Developer Library
(IDL), which is available as a download from the Intermec web via
www.intermec.com/idl. See your Intermec representative for information.
Bluetooth is not started by default after a clean-boot is performed. You can
